What stones. Kudos to the M100 and to the Chancellor for her clarity and guts. Merkel is doing the righteous thing. I love huh! Hat tip NRO.
Berlin: Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, who in 2005 portrayed the Prophet DanishCartoon07 Mohammed wearing a bomb in his turban, is to receive the M100 Media Prize in Germany on Wednesday, organisers said.
The prize is to be awarded for Westergaard’s ‘unbending engagement for freedom of the press and freedom of opinion, and for his courage to defend these democratic values despite threats of death and violence,’ the prize committee said.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is to deliver the keynote speech at the ceremony, held in the Sanssouci palace in Potsdam and attended by editors and publishers from Europe’s top media companies.
Westergaard’s cartoon, published along with other portrayals of Mohammed in the Jyllands-Posten in 2005, caused a storm of protest when they became known in the Arab and Muslim world. Many took offence at the personal and disrespectful portrayal of the prophet.
. . . She must be endangering her troops.

Israel should loan nuclear weapons to Germany to deal with stealth jihad.
